Here are photos of Justin Bieber landing in Burbank via a private jet on Tuesday, and I’m pleased to see that the kid is walking in an upright position. However, there’s no accounting for anyone who will wear sneakers without socks, but I’ll settle for baby steps in Bieber fashion land.

Let’s move on swiftly to the subject of this story, which involves Bieber’s antics on Instagram. Last night, I was scrolling through his page and noticed that Bieber had posted a photo of him “riding” a broom. That picture, while hilarious, has been included at the bottom of this story because something new has popped up, and it involves a photo that Bieber has since removed from the social media site. At first, I didn’t realize that the “coke” photo contained anything of a scandalous nature because it wasn’t a picture of Justin, so I didn’t click through for the full view. At the moment, I could kick myself for not taking a screenshot of the photo, but Radar Online has posted a small thumbnail of the pic, which shows one of Justin’s friends holding a baggie of white powder with Bieber’s caption, “@poobearmdma whatcha got in your hand.”

Who is this guy? Introducing “Poo Bear” on the right of this picture, which I found linked via the Poo Bear MDMA Twitter account. The guy in the back of the photo is Richard Perry, owner of Barneys. Silly me, I thought it was Anthony Weiner, who really would make for a great Bieber candid. Anyway, this is a photo of Justin and Poo on Perry’s private jet.

Poo (such a gross nickname) is currently touring with Justin, and they are shown here together in Detroit. Here’s the story from Radar Online about the drug-baggie picture that Justin yanked from Instagram. Mr. Poo has quite the history of drug connections:

For months, Beliebers and casual observers alike have criticized Justin Bieber‘s choice of company. His BFFs Li’l Za and Li’l Twist have wrecked his cars, been arrested for DUI and just generally seemed like they might not be the best influences on the increasingly out of control star.

But RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that one member of Justin’s inner circle could be a much more dangerous – and even deadly – friend. Justin’s friend Jason Boyd, known to Beliebers by the innocuous name “Poo Bear” is pals with dangerous international cocaine smugglers.

On Monday, Justin posted a picture on Instagram of Boyd holding what appeared to be a small baggie of white powder and captioned the shot, “@poobearmdma whatcha got in your hand.”

Fans were quick to accuse Boyd of holding “cocaine,” “molly,” and “marijuana,” but whatever he was holding, commenters seemed more disturbed by the fact that Justin, 19. would even joke about possibly being near drugs.

RadarOnline.com has learned that his fans could have reason to be concerned, because Boyd’s own BFFs aren’t bratty teens, but international drug smugglers.

Earlier this year, Boyd posted a series of Instagram shots from a trip to Suriname — a South American nation that is a notorious hub for cocaine smugglers. As far back as 1992, U.S. officials warned of the country’s growing problem in an official report and warned, “There is no question in the view of the U.S. government that there is significant army, and probably some police, involvement in narcotics trafficking in Suriname.”

Indeed, the nation’s own president, Desi Bouterse, was convicted in absentia by a Netherlands court in 1999 of smuggling more than 1,000 pounds of cocaine into the country. His son, Dino Bouterse, was arrested just this past Friday for conspiring to send 22 pounds of cocaine to the United States in a suitcase.

And during Poo Bear’s trip to the troubled country, he happily posed for pictures with a man known as “Jungle Commando,” former rebel leader Ronnie Brunswijk, who has also been convicted in absentia of smuggling cocaine into the Netherlands. Like the nation’s president, he has never served jail time.

During his time with Brunswijk, Boyd also posed with a 100-round-clip semi-automatic machine gun, went on a tour of the jungle with Brunswijk and Suriname’s Vice President, Robert Ameerali, and smelted large bricks of 24k gold – not your typical tourist activities.

Besides the drug connections mentioned above, Poo Bear also goes by the nickname “MDMA,” which he claims (via his Twitter) stands for “Most Devoted Musician Alive.” Right. I think that Justin yanking the white-powder photo from Instagram proves that it’s only a matter of time before Biebs gets busted with drugs in hand. So far, he’s been lucky enough to not be on his tour buses whenever they get busted for pot, but Bieber’s luck will soon run out.

Vanilla Ice wasn’t this out of control and look at him. In sooo many ways Bieber is just like him. Sure, he now has his own business, and makes millions renovatings houses, and that’s awesome. But for a while he was an addict and completely lost himself after being knocked off his pedestal. Bieber doesn’t think it will happen to him, but nobody takes care of him. Nobody watches out for him. Everybody uses him. This will not end well.

Can we all stop once and for all impliying this loser druggie is “getting in trouble” cause of all those black guys he is kicking it with? Like he is Snow White and innocently getting souled as the byproduct of this “company” and not the reality that the Company he keeps is a byproduct of what his stupid ass LIKES to get into?

What I’m curious about is what on earth does this grown PooBear man have in common with Beiber OTHER than drugs? I agree that Beiber is making all his own bad decisions, but can you imagine the level of conversation within the group?! I am shuddering.

@Marjalane – And after traveling around w/him as part of his idiot entourage, can you even imagine how much blackmail material this guy no doubt has on Pissbucket & his friends? Given that there’s no doubt whatsoever that this shitbear is a user, I wouldn’t put anything passed him.

(But don’t get me wrong, Pissbucket is an absolute moron who made his own stupid decisions that he now has to pay for.)

I don’t think at all he’s an innocent choirboy being misled by the corrupting influence of others . I think he’s seeking out and hanging with those that fit into his lifestyle of choice these days, partying, speeding through neighborhoods with kids, drugging, drinking, and showing off how badass he thinks he is.

@Hunter – For the most part, Usher has managed to maintain a tidy image. But there were a few times he’s caused controversy. 1 of which I didn’t even know about until I searched it (out of curiosity).

It was back in 2004, some lyrics from the song ‘Confessions Part II‘s official Remix. The Remix includes a rapper named Joe Budden, & his lyrics are absolutely horrifying to me.

Budden: ““Pray that she abort that, if she’s talkin’ bout keepin’ it, one hit to the stomach, she’s leakin’ it.”

When it became a controversy, Budden said this: ““Everybody’s heard the original Usher song and I’m just saying what guy’s mind state is in that situation. That’s how it can be when you are put in a powerless situation. When you get someone pregnant, you can make suggestions, but the bottom line is the woman has the final say so.”

Usher’s spokesperson chimed in: “A spokesperson for Usher adds, “The lyrics are not Usher’s and he had no part in the recording the remix.”

Sooo… An artist who has complete creative control over his music (as most who’ve been around & successful as long as he has do), but for this Official Remix, Usher had ‘nothing to do with’ what someone was going to be doing w/HIS song? No involvement whatsoever? I call serious bullshit.

((I know this has probably been talked about in a CB story way back, but this is the first I heard of it, & find it beyond horribly disgusting. I used to LIKE Usher, but this ruined it completely)).

ITA. No one is corrupting this little douche. He did it all to himself, and he likes hanging out with this kind of person because he is this kind of person. Why is no one afraid of his corrupting influence on young girls?

It’s not just black guys that are the bad influence around him though. It’s tons of people and a lot of them are white too. And nobody thinks they are a bad influence because they are black. It’s because they do drugs, get DUIs, smash his cars and live off of him. Nobody here is a victim, and Beiber needs to start watching his back because these people sell him out and use him. But these guys are not just innocently hanging out with him. As soon as they appeared in the picture, Bieber started acting pretty badly.

I honestly never caught on to that implication. I thought we were all aware that Bieber is going downhill fast due to his own douchiness. I am very skeptical about anyone who hangs with the Bieb, though. They have questionable taste in friends.

It’s his manager’s fault. Plus this kid has a lousy father that tries to act like a bada$$ when in reality he’s a deadbeat dad living off his sons millions. As well as bieber’s mom. Then all the people that use him left and right. The kid is screwed.

@ QQ : I don’t think Beiber is being corrupted by anyone, black or white. I think these are his decisions (i.e. drinking, drugs, a**hole behaviour because “it’s fun”). He grew up in public housing with a poor single mother. Then before he was 16, someone shoved millions in his face. Sadly the results were predictable.

It reminds me of that episode of “Rosanne” where the Connors win the lottery and join a country club. Rosanne tells a stuck up member that “we’re your worst nightmare – white trash with money”.

he is an all around idiot child. reading that article about poo bear/suriname/cocaine jungle lords. For REAL!? and this is who you want to ‘jam it’ with bieber? has this kid ever opened up a &$&@@*^# BOOK, read the news, did more than use a newspaper for toilet roll?

with the ‘good’ of associating w/ such hardcore druggies comes the ‘bad’ of associating with them. Who says that some Suriname Jungle Cocaine Lord isn’t gonna suddenly turn on his pal ‘poo bear’ and whoever ‘hangs’ with poo bear well, theey’re just a sideline casualty.

Justin, trying to get that street cred.LOL No matter his likes and dislikes these days for drugs, tattoos, heavy partying, fights, his music is still bubblegum or just average autotuned pop and only tween girls or young female teens sixteen and below attend his concerts. No amount of trying to be all bad boy and edgy is going to change his target audience ever and bring over male fans or even girls above eighteen. This is a transition time for his music, but I just don’t see him having the ability to draw in a different audience.

Who’s to say the cops aren’t on the lookout for Bieber right now? For Beiber to pull that Instagram looks suspicious, but it may be too late; the cops may have a screenshot. With all the stories of his tour bus drug raids in various jurisdictions law enforcement is probably waiting for him to slip up so he can do the Walk of Shame to the police station, complete with jailhouse jewelry.

I really loathe that little prick and am embarrassed as a Canadian that we inflicted him on the world. I fervently hope that he gets busted big time, sent to jail and learns the hard way what it is to be “gangsta”.

Humanity is doomed. That THIS worthless piece of trash is so successful tells me that perhaps, it is better that the human species is taking itself out of the natural selection process. Ah well, pity we had to destroy the rest of the planet as well but what are ya gonna do? (*Waves hands in the air, parties like I just don’t care)

Seriously, WTF is he doing? Is there no one with an ounce of sense and a sliver of backbone to tell this boy to stop *@uking up what has been a very good ( and very lucky)career thus far? Justin I hope you’re reading this. STOP. I don’t really care much about you but you do have catchy songs and some talent. STOP!!!!!!!

I think all of us Unbeliebers should totally ignore every post about this jerk kid. He is the King of vapid, stupid, boring, uncreative, talentless narcissistic role models that seem to be inundating the music business right when my girl is 14.
